I have been enjoying this exchange of information.
The frequency range of local earthquakes in Iceland is typical of the=20
frequency range of small earthquakes recorded on rock near to the=20
source. You just have to sample at a high rate 100 or preferably 200s/s=20=

to see it. For monitoring of mining rock bursts up close you have to=20
increase this rate by a factor of 10 or more.
In the Lachlan Foldbelt in southeastern Australia we typically record=20
ground shaking near 50 Hz for small earthquakes up to ML 4 and there=20
isn't  a recently active volcano for 500 km or so.
